Abstract :
Contemporary wireless communications are based on digital communications technologies. The recent commercial success of mobile cellular communications has been enabled in part by successful designs of digital signal processors with appropriate on-chip memories and specialized accelerators for digital transceiver operations. This article provides an overview of fixed point digital signal processors and ways in which they are used in cellular communications. Directions for future wireless-focused DSP technology developments are discussed
